Firefox Will Soon Show You Which Tabs Are Making Noise, and Let You Mute Them

Posted by Soulskill on from the hush-little-browser-don't-say-a-word dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Mozilla is working on identifying Firefox tabs that are currently playing audio. The feature will show an icon if a tab is making sounds and let the user mute the playback. It's worth noting that while Chrome has had audio indicators for more than a year now, it still doesn't let you easily mute tabs. The option is available in Google's browser, but it's not enabled by default (you have to turn on the #enable-tab-audio-muting flag in chrome://flags/).

    Yep, I'm working on it. Firefox Nightly should have a usable display of CPU by the end of August. Memory usage is planned, but I have many other things to do first.
